2023 progress report Sustainocracy
The human world is under significant and dangerous stress. Yet the vast majority of people wish for a peaceful and harmonious existence. To achieve that, a lot will have to change. And that is exactly what most people have difficulty with. This is not only due to a lack of will, it is also because our behavior is conditioned by the way society functions. One leads to the other. This can only be broken if society-wide (i.e. everyone at the same time) is prepared to implement a mindset change. The City of Tomorrow (STIR Foundation) has been inviting us to do this since 2009, based on five essential values for our human existence. It creates an open space in which people and institutions are invited to proactively take responsibility together for the whole program, or regional sub-priorities and bottlenecks, based on those essential human values. 2023 was once again a special and challenging year, the first full year after the COVID restrictions. Download here the report of what has been done, with thanks to all the people and institutions who have contributed directly and indirectly.
Existential Ethics in Education, explained in Japan for a world in transition

Our current educational system prepares us for financial dependence in a competitive, job oriented world. The essential values of our human existence and the shared responsibilities for a sustainable evolution only make themselves known to us through painful recessions, war, crises and the reaction of nature on our abusive, polluting and parasite behavior. Sustainocracy introduces an Existentialist Ethical format for all learning environments to adhere to, making all the cognitive teaching facilities become relevant in a values driven context of sustainable development. The impact on our youngest generations and our economies is transformative, motivational and a new age stimulus for value added creativity.
I asked ChatGPT to help position the online tutorial about Sustainocracy.
Introducing a word and societal concept that hardly anyone in the world knows is difficult. Announcing a tutorial about it on a global commercial learning platform is nearly impossible, even though its application can “save the human world”. So I asked ChatGPT to come up with a suggestion for a persuasive title and a price. This is the result:

The arguments of the artificial intelligence platform for the relatively low price setting was that I could always increase it. At this stage it was important, according ChatGPT, to lower the possible barriers for participation and reach out to an as wide audience as possible. I indeed agreed but as an old business developer I still had the inner bias around the emotional perception of “cheap” is “low value” rather than “easy access”. But this is not business development, it is an invitation to a way of thinking. That makes the difference. The price is therefore only relevant in combination of the title. This needed not be commercial. It had to be persuasive. The result speaks for itself.
